It's not recommanded to use the same project for your multiproject
entry and to store the parent settings.
Generally, what it is recommended to do is :
modules
|-modules-parent
| \-project.xml => All your common settings for your modules
|-module-A
| \-project.xml => Extends modules-parent
|-module-B
| \-project.xml => Extends modules-parent and uses module-A for example
\-project.xml => Multiproject settings (very light). Don't extends
modules-parent
